Aftercare

Aftercare for your tattoos is the most crucial aspect of your personalized tattoo journey! Caring for your tattoos should begin as soon as the art is done. As soon as the tattoo is done, Aquaphor is applied and the area is covered in Tegaderm which is a transparent medical dressing.

As a professional tattoo artist while I ensure there is no infection or skin damage, there are some follow up care procedures you would need to follow.

Shopping list

I recommend the following products for good aftercare:

•Dial gold soap

•Bactine antiseptic spray

•Aquaphor

Steps to be followed for aftercare:

Keep the Tegaderm wrap on for two to four days. I recommend keeping the wrap on for four days for maximum and faster healing.

Body fluids could fill the wrap initially which is not something you need to be concerned about. As long as the wrap is sealed and the air bubble is visible, it indicates that no water has seeped into the Tegaderm wrap.

After four days remove the wrap in the shower once the seal is gone or the air bubble disappears.

Wash the area with Dial Gold Soap thoroughly multiple times after the wrap is removed.

Let the area air dry thoroughly.

Spray and rub in Bactine antiseptic spray and let it air dry.

Rub in a very thin coat of Aquaphor. Repeat the application two to three times a day.

After ten days or when the tattoo stops scabbing, switch over to unscented skin healing lotion.

Protecting the tattoo from sun exposure is important. Make sure to use sunblock on the tattoo when exposed to the sunlight.

These procedures will ensure your tattoo is as bright, black and beautiful as they can be!
